LC2
Residual Liquid Detector
The miho LC 2 is a compact residual liquid detector for very accurate inspection of bottles for caustic residual liquids after washing and before filling. It distinguishes water residues from caustic residues, with a test bottle function and reject system control.
Residual Liquid Detector
The miho LC 2 provides very accurate inspection of bottles for caustic residual liquids after the washing machine and before the filler. Wetting through caustic solution is detected as a fault, while water residues are strictly distinguished from caustic residues.
The system is operated via the LC 2 Basic system (evaluation unit). Upon detecting a bottle wetted with caustic solution, a floating signal is emitted — for example, activating the bottle stopper or a line shutdown.
Key Features
- Compact construction.
- Test bottle function — automatic request of specially prepared and marked test bottles at set intervals to verify detection is functioning properly.
- Controls reject systems — activates bottle stopper or line shutdown on fault detection.
- Strict distinction between water and caustic residues.
- Robust sensor technology, insusceptible to moisture and glass fragments.
Applications
Essential for beverage bottling lines running returnable glass bottles, ensuring bottles are free of caustic washing residue before they reach the filler.
